Volume 1, Chapter 64: Under Attack

Swallowing hard, Xiao Lei finally realized that Tang Tiantian and her friends were people she could not afford to provoke. Had she known earlier, she would never have crossed paths with them.

Tears streamed down the captain's face. By this point, he felt that nothing could be more agonizing than being caught in a three-way crossfire without any backup.

Yet, Luo Yang simply held his crimson longsword horizontally, forming a blade of red light that swept straight outward.

The frigate was struck by the sudden shellfire. The immense impact and explosion tore it apart instantly, and seawater rushed in. It did not even last a minute before sinking deep into the fathomless ocean.

After enduring numerous twists and turns, Wang Mutou repaired the Mirror of Memory. Kaffy, having recovered a fraction of her memories, provided a clue: someone was attempting to summon the curse of the ancient Inod in the Zarding region, which was rumored to grant immense evil power.

Guards stepped forward to block the reporters, but the correspondents swarmed forward like madmen, terrified of missing even the tiniest detail of the news.

He wanted to take advantage of the situation and slip away unbothered, but Baili Yaoer was hardly going to let him have his way.

He had certainly noticed Qin Ming’s dimensional cage. Although he did not know its name, he recognized it as a formidable defensive method.

"Nanny Zhang, why have you come in broad daylight? Didn't I tell you to come at night?" Aunt Yun sat in the master seat with a face full of displeasure, sending shivers down Nanny Zhang's spine.

"About twenty percent, but if we utilize that thing, the probability can be increased to sixty percent." Staff Officer Zhang held up his left hand and gestured to Li Hai.

Zhang Haitao closed his eyes again and said, "Just strike me, let me sleep a little longer, I feel awful." With that, he turned over and fell back asleep.

Zhang Haitao: "Why are you being so hesitant? Business waits for no one. Let's go." As he spoke, he pulled Wu Ziqiang along.

Pro seemed quite composed, replying calmly, "I followed protocol, sending a monthly stipend to his wife and children at home, acting as if he had merely gone out to sea on a mission." Zhuang Yu did not pursue the matter further, clearly approving of Pro's actions. His attitude toward Pro was noticeably distinct.

"You are much better at business negotiations than I am, and Chairman Li is naturally a difficult man to deal with. It was hard enough to secure a meeting with him; if it were ruined because of me, it would hardly be ideal, don't you think?" Yu Hao probed tentatively.

Under the combined assault of water and fire, its body was merely fractured rather than completely destroyed; the anomalous corpse's strength far exceeded my imagination. Moreover, while the golden cage's primary function was confinement, the golden energy inherently sought to tear enemies apart. The cage could both trap foes and effortlessly slice through their flesh.

Fan Xiaoxi would never allow her son to be a philanderer. She believed that a man, especially a successful one, needed not a flashy, awe-inspiring company, but rather a family that would never forsake him under any circumstances.

One could tell something was amiss just from the tone of her voice. Based on his understanding of Zhong Qing, she had always been an energetic soul who preferred motion over stillness.

Truly, I had been far too naive, never suspecting that every single step was a trap. When I leaned in to ask, my grandmother traced six characters onto my palm, pausing at two separate intervals.

The battle today was undeniably a stroke of sheer fortune; we never expected two supernatural abilities immune to the freezing chill to appear simultaneously—Zhao Fan and Li Lingyue. Unfortunately, this stroke of luck was still not enough, and in the end, we fell short of success.

The children looked at one another before suddenly scattering in a flurry, vanishing into the nearby houses.

From afar, the Golden-Patterned Judge's furious and frenzied screams echoed out, causing the entire cavern to tremble.

"I concede!" Before he could finish speaking, a sudden shout rang out from Guyue, who had just stepped onto the arena stage.

A wild dog suddenly smashed through the window. Chen Zhan instantly thrust his machine gun forward and blew the beast's brains out. There was another one on top of the roof, tearing through the iron with its teeth, about to crawl inside. Noah aimed at its head and pulled the trigger with a loud bang, shattering the dog's skull. Huzi stepped hard on the accelerator, and the people inside the car finally let out a sigh of relief.

When Su Yue and the others arrived at the practice room, Su Jun'ai had not yet appeared. Although they were part of the same team, it was their first time gathering together. While the atmosphere wasn't awkward, it was certainly a bit chilly.

Next was selecting the actors for the first and second male leads, both aged twenty-six—one a music director, the other a corporate executive producer. In her mind, she actually had a great candidate for the music director role, though his asking price was somewhat steep.

Lin Junhuang had no recollection whatsoever of forming an alliance with Di Xiao. Therefore, Di Xiao must have contacted him only after Lin Junhuang fell under the control of the Heart-Gu.

Xu Wen incoherently poured out pleasantries to Xu Shaoyan, begging him to protect his children and the Xu family's assets after his death. In truth, Xu Wen had done nothing to wrong Xu Shaoyan. No matter how many faults Xu Wen's mother possessed, Xu Wen himself was ultimately innocent; he could well be considered Xu Shaoyan's own younger brother.

The joy of recovering what was lost battered violently against his chest. Lu Zhuo pulled him tighter into his embrace, quietly releasing his spiritual aura, accelerating his sword flight, and speeding toward the residence of Sovereign Hongjian.

Luo Jin immediately declared in front of everyone that all candidates who had not been present on the spot would have their final examination qualifications revoked.

His relationship with Lin Zhao had already deteriorated because of the death of Lin Zhao's father, and now this would undoubtedly add frost to snow.

In his heart, the foremost leading man was definitely Hu Ge, and the second was naturally Huo Jianhua. Although this fellow always wore a deeply aggrieved and bitter expression in dramas, his period costume looks were breathtakingly stunning.

"Is this the ability of your Devil Fruit? Those black threads can manipulate people? What on earth did you do to Dao? Why doesn't he recognize me anymore?" Mick asked with extreme agitation, hurling a series of questions.

"What?" Jiang Xue was the one taken aback. Although she had long suspected that Mu Qiancheng might have brought her here with a preconceived plan, she had not expected him to intend to stay for two full nights.

As the incantation concluded, a new round of attacks commenced. Deep blue radiance surged upward, and a massive arcane missile crashed into Igo.

Wu Tong recalled the scene of that day. At the time, he had found it dubious, assuming Zhang Ruofeng had merely struck wildly.

The old man patted the youth's head, rubbed it affectionately, and then gently exerted force to pull out a few strands of hair.

"Considering how devoted and single-minded you are toward me, I won't bicker with you over your compliments about how wonderful other women are," I arched an eyebrow at him, saying triumphantly.

Seeming to rely on the fact that Lingyue could do nothing to him, Lin Zhao leaned directly forward, suddenly raising his hand to wrap it around Lingyue's waist, the profound depth in his eyes growing even more intense.
